Lavender season - sachets

Recently, there's been lavender season in my garden. By now, I cut and dried all the flowers.

So, it's highest time to think of lavender sachets. I grabbed some fabrics with different shades of violet, I also found some ribbons in my stash. The white with pink border is the one that my mum gave me from her stash so it must have been bought years ago! It's nice feeling when I make something new out of something old that was waiting so long to be used.

At first I made the triangle sachets from this tutorial on Patchwork Posse blog. However, mine didn't come out that good - they are more "wonky triangles" kind :). Probably, one reason is that I used a bit bigger squares than in the tutorial. So, instead of triangles I decided to continue with standard square sachets.

Once I filled the bags with lavender I stitched it around with pearl cotton. Also, it's not seen on the photos but each side of the bag has different fabric.

About Me

As time goes by I get convinced more and more often that there's much too little time to do all the things I'd wish. So, hopefully I choose the right ones. Some time ago I found my hobby in embroidery: there was a fascination of Richelieu embroidery, Hardanger then I bought the sewing machine and found fun in sewing variety of things. Here's the place I share the results of my work and inspiration I find on the internet.
